I don’t believe it is a Brown. The comb/grip geometry doesn’t look like the Browns I have seen. FWIW.

Does it have a cheek piece?


Too close for irons, switching to scope...

Garrett Accur-Lt would be my guess. They offered a Ruger pattern with a very similar shape.

Could be, they have a pretty open grip, the shadows may be fooling me though.

Agree. It looks a lot like my Hi-Tech on my M77 RS 35 Whelen.

Mine. Fairly light pieces with their light barrel contour coupled with the stock.

Agreed. Mines on the edge of too light for a Whelen but it shoots softer than the weight shows.

Not a Bansner/HiTech…look at the toe to grip line and the nose comb flutes.

It looks very much like the McMillan Winchester classic. I think at one time they have may have done a similar version for the Ruger.

Pretty sure the McMillan 77 stocks I've handled had checkering and maybe a cheek piece. Similar to their Mauser pattern. Been a while though.

My Hi-Tech story on the rifle pictured. It was an ADL M77 stock rough as hell with some cutting into the "fiber" by the previous owner. It was in a junk box in a Houston shop for $30. I bought it and called Mark asking if he could cut it for the factory bottom metal. He replied in the affirmative so I sent it to him. It came back properly cut at no charge including shipping. The exterior need some body and fender work and because I added the banded sling attachment (Ruger #1 part) I shortened the forend to what I thought was appropriate. I cut a section and reattached the tip. I was pretty pleased with how it came out. A few years ago I met Mark at the Dallas Safari Club show and mentioned the story. His reply, "yeah that's what I do". A pure gentleman to speak with.

I knew I’d seen one somewhere; took a while to find it.

Looks like a match. They apparently inletted them for multiple patterns.

M77 McMillan
